Now there's a thought...a Windows Server dressed up in the Paul Smith multistripe. Mmmm. Got me thinking when I saw this video of how they use Windows Server and how they save a boat load of cash with it. File transfers from 8 hours to 8 seconds!!

On that topic, I met with a few partners this week who sell IT solutions to businesses of different sizes and helped clear up some confusion around which Windows Server is the right server in a particular environment. I thought this was pretty easy but it turns out there are some decisions to be made based on things like size of the business, speed of growth and product features required. If you needed a handy guide to all this look no further - the ever resourceful Annemarie Duffy who is our Windows Server lead here in the UK pointed me to the Microsoft Server Solutions Guide. The real life scenarios are pretty cool comapred to past guides I've seen which focus on the "look at all our features" approach :)
